Difference in Katana Plastics ???

I tried my friends pro katana recently and really liked it. I like to keep it as cheap as possible and obviously champion and star plastic is much more durable. My thought was I'd wait til they started producing the katana in star plastic before purchasing one so it will last longer assuming I don't lose it.

Having just purchased a pro boss, I have found that it doesn't fly the same as my original star boss and I have to release it more level than the anhyzer angle I could put on that original star boss without it turning over.

So... the question is has anyone thrown both the pro and star katanas and if they are similar in release angle/flight paths before I drop the cash on one?

It's hardly the same disc. Presumably most Star are way more overstable, able to handle torque, even hyzer out. I flip a pro katana into a quick roller but can hyzer a star katana. Champion is the most reliable for turnover without being too flippy (pro) or coming back (star), for me (450-500ft).

The Star Katana is the most stable out of the bunch. With Champ 2nd for the most part. I say that, because the 2nd run Champ Katana is not as stable as the 1st run or those Memorial CFR discs. If you can find one. The 2nd is my favorite, because the plastic is more softer/gummy. It just feels better in my hand. I've never been a fan of Pro plastic, because of how quickly it wears out. But that's also why some people like it so much.

this whole discussion is pointless because they dont make a stock star katana only the pro. It seams like they keep makeing these japan open katanas so they can jack up the price. Maybe when the Open is over they will make a stock star katana. As for now you will have to pay a few bucks to get one and figure it out for yourself. If star is more stable for you than it will probably follow the pattern.
